Off Panel #128: Building Stories with Alison Sampson

By David Harper

November 13, 2017

On this week’s episode of Off Panel, artist Alison Sampson joins the show to talk about her Image Comics series, Winnebago Graveyard. She discusses her architectural background, how her architecture background influences her comic art, panel layouts, her art process, backmatter, whether Winnebago Graveyard is more of a book market comic, women working on horror comics, whether she’s gotten faster as an artist, getting bogged down in details, breaking in after an entirely different career, what Winnebago Graveyard taught her as a creator, Think of a City’s present and future, and more.

You can find Sampson on Twitter, on Tumblr, and her work in Winnebago Graveyard, which is set to be released on November 22nd in trade. Also, don’t miss her project Think of a City.
